Thanks guys,anyone run 300kw with -5s on a 1/4 mile with a time?

No one would buy -5s and run 300rwkw. Added lag for... What?

They are 360rwkw+ turbo, so you run them at 360rwkw... OR buy -7s if you want 300rwkw, or -9s if you want 330rwkw

Given that is what 7 pages of this thread is about, not to mention the other threads...

I understand the lag on the -5s but i was more wanting to know 1/4 miles times both -5 -9 running at 300kw.

The reason i ask is im running a stock bottem end and slowly building a motor to run 380plus kw and i dont want to buy -9 or -7 for 300kw an selling it of 1 year later for half the price,i do want to swap the -5 on to the new built motor chance its completed,there are numbers of people running 300kw even less on -5s,im on a very strict budget,and dont mine the lagg to save some $$

Not sure, maybe you missed this?

It'll be about the same. 300kw is 300kw.

Torque also plays a factor but for the most part it'll be close enough for the sake of the argument.

Same shit dude. It's not an issue of importance or one you will EVER get an answer to.

Car weight, driver, tyres etc - all far more important variables to worry about anyway.

Oh and if you are on a strict budget, hate to tell you but you'll end up blowing it. No-one meets a tight budget when doing a full build. It's just impossible as there are too many variables that again come into play.

will be going for the -5, pushing 300kw,No one is saying im putting chinese stuff on my other built motor,i was relating to the turbos that is where i can save money on,cos i do want to get 380kw out of the new built motor.

I don't get your point for, sounds like you want -5's just so you can say you have them, if you don't mind the lag why not aim for 400kw? If not go smaller. Your desicion is 300kw lagy or 300kw responsive....simple choice

He is slowly building his motor so running 300kw's with the -5's for now, and then when the motor is finished being built he will go for a higher figure :thumbsup:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
